Who do you put as the organization? Girl Scout council doesn't allow troops to do a vendor fundraiser. But I know "anyone" can do a fundraiser.
 
I think you can put the name of the person who is hosting the fundraiser. That's what I'm doing for the gal that is fundraising for the Leukemia/Lymphoma society.
 
It depends on the specific guidelines and rules set by the Girl Scout council. If the council does not allow troops to do vendor fundraisers, then it would be best to follow their guidelines and choose a different type of fundraiser. However, if the council allows anyone to do a fundraiser, then you could potentially choose any organization to work with for the fundraiser. It's important to check with the council and make sure you are following their rules and regulations.
